Making Good on my FB Promise!
|
Hi hi Today I wanted to follow up on a promise I made a few days back (on Facebook) where I said that I would show you who I follow and where I consume my content. Please note, I did ask AI to do this compiling for me, so any weird links - pay no mind. ๐ I gave Claude the names and let it do the research! A few notes: NOTE #1: You'll notice there are very few marketing people on this list. That's on purpose. I get my marketing education from doing... running campaigns, coaching clients, and testing things in real time. I don't follow marketing thought leaders because I want my marketing perspective to come from my own experience, clients, and businesses, not someone else's framework. I do not want my followers to feel that I am just parroting the latest trends I'm hearing from others. That said, I will absolutely go hunting for specific tactics here and there. Some examples:
It's not a steady diet from a particular person so I didn't include all the people in my rolodex on this list. If you were to work with me, I could point you to pretty much any tactician in Digital Marketing if I didn't cover it myself. NOTE #2: What I do follow obsessively? Farm accounts. Animal accounts. Science accounts. I'm deep into documentaries and I use AI constantly to fact-check and dig into rabbit holes. Too many to list here. ๐ NOTE #3: I do keep a steady diet of people I disagree with and don't like. Not sure if this is good for my health or not, but I like to see what they are saying. I felt it best NOT to put up that list, but it is long. NOTE #4: My consumption of social media has gone down some because I find my own brain comes up with a lot of stuff and it's just a conversation between me and AI. Is that good or bad? NO idea. But I spend a good bit of time arguing with Grok, Gemini, Chat, and Claude. NOTE #5: I have over 60 private clients. I have a steady diet of their offers, social media, etc. So there are lots of people like that - that I follow and am on their lists. I also have two coaches that work alongside me - Helen Henley and Nuno Tavares. I check in with them and respond to their content as well. NOTE #6: I do consume content from personal development folks on OCD, health anxiety, etc. but I don't know them well enough to recall them from name and be like - FOLLOW this person. Now, onto the personal brands you could say "I follow". APOLOGETICS & FAITH โ

Side note: I also listen to Diary of a CEO (https://www.youtube.com/@TheDiaryOfACEO), but selectively... I'm only tuning in for the AI and Christianity episodes. I skip all the productivity and health stuff. That's it! I couldn't really think of anyone else. I'm the queen of ignoring most stuff, and overall - this is a strength more than a weakness I think! (my kids sometimes disagree). You might have gotten to the end of this and thought - man she's missing out. What about _______? Feel free to reply and let me know WHO I should add to this list! xx Julie P.S. If you got value out of this email, and think someone would benefit, the best way to say thanks is to forward it onto someone else, or encourage them to sign up for my emails at emailsbyjulie.com. |
